check_f: Check 'f'.

In vntrs: Variable Neighborhood Trust Region Search

Description

This function checks the input f for the vntrs package.

Usage

check_f(f, npar, controls)

Arguments

f	A function that computes value, gradient, and Hessian of the function to be optimized and returns them as a named list with elements value, gradient, and hessian.
npar	The number of parameters of f.
controls	Either NULL or a named list with the following elements. Missing elements are set to the default values in parentheses. init_runs (5): The number of initial searches. init_min (-1): The minimum argument value for the random initialization. init_max (1): The maximum argument value for the random initialization. init_iterlim (20): The number of iterations for the initial searches. neighborhoods (5): The number of nested neighborhoods. neighbors (5): The number of neighbors in each neighborhood. beta (0.05): A non-negative weight factor to account for the function's curvature in the selection of the neighbors. If beta = 0, the curvature is ignored. The higher the value, the higher the probability of selecting a neighbor in the direction of the highest function curvature. iterlim (1000): The maximum number of iterations to be performed before the local search is terminated. tolerance (1e-6): A positive scalar giving the tolerance for comparing different optimal arguments for equality. time_limit (NULL): The time limit in seconds for the algorithm.

Value

No return value, called for side-effects.
